Mortals Meet Demigods/ One shots

Solangelo AU

I don't understand. Why does he keep following me?

I kept running, the sound of my feet padding on the floor as I felt my lungs try to ejaculate themselves out of my body. I weaved in and out of the trees, trying to lose him.

Finally when my unfit body finally gave out, I collapsed on the ground behind a tree and tried to steady my breathing.

"Hey."

I screamed.

He hung upside down on the lowest branch, grinning as if we hadn't just ran 1 mile.

His grin showed off his prominent features of his face.

His fangs.

Backing up..... beep beep beep.

I blame my school entirely.

Our school had organized a short stay at a retreat to have us, "get used to the environment," for three weeks. (This school sounds bomb someone sign me up pft)

I, personally, didn't want to go, but my sister wanted to go and then my parents were like, "Oh, Nico, you should go too! Maybe you'll get to know some more people."

My sister is amazing by the way. She also encouraged it, and eventually convinced me to go.

I don't have friends. I'm that one kid that everyone usually avoids in social situations, but, I'm the first they go to for a project.

I'm not nerdy... well I guess I'm considered "smart," but my belief is the better you do, the less teachers bother you. Wearing black, wearing earbuds, yeah I'm that kid.

I heard the bell ring and I stood up and left the room, the door clicking behind me.

I liked to leave first and get to class to avoid interaction. I kept my head down, my dark black hair draping over my eyes. Keeping to the sides, I rushed to my last class.

Tomorrow is the day we leave. I was regretting agreeing to this.

I spent last period absorbed in my thoughts.

"Nico."

My head snapped up from the position it was in before. I looked frantically around the room for help and saw the equation on the board. Quickly, I solved it in my head and tried my luck.

"X is less than or equal to 765." (I don't know just go with it)

The teacher nodded, giving me the "you got lucky this time" look.

I rolled my eyes and once again absorbed myself in thoughts.

The next time I was interrupted was by the bell. The loud ding filled the ears of every student as they rushed to leave the prison we call school. But unfortunately for me, todays the day we leave for retreat.

I sighed as I followed the large swarm of students heading towards the blacktop where the yellow buses sat.

Luggage, students, teachers, were loaded into the bus and we took off.

I shut my ears by plugging in earbuds and blasting music so loud, people across from me could hear it, despite the usual loud bus conversations.

Bianca was in another bus with her grade, so I generally just sat there, listening to music and sleeping. No one sat in the same seat as me. I never had to bother with another.

The buses arrived 3 hours later to a forest area. Bright, leafy trees surrounded us and the barely noticeable road we drove to get here.
